Why do we need to know who hit a ball with a bat and ran around? why do we need to know who stared in a popular movie (i coldnt even tell you the actors in my favorite movies of today because i find it rather pointless)? why do we care who took a picture of something?

I beleive that knowing what happened is important as well as WHY IT HAPPENED, but why do we need to know all this pointless stuff? what good can it really do?

do you believe there is such a thing as human being purely objective? there are persons that dont even believe in reality... therefore persons will always disagree on what are really facts. If an opinion isnt a fact to other people then doesnt that make it subjective... therefore pure objectivity doesnt exist?

Some people are not truly afraid of death, but afraid of the unknown. My biggest fear is to be buried alive. I ask for honesty. So what is your biggest fear?

My last name is Parris, but everywhere I look it says my name is from France or Belgium. I am neither, it would be Jewish, Scottish, or Irish.

I don't have much to go by, except my Grandpa's first name, which is Herschel. My father is in prison and I'm not very close to his family.

Good places to start that don't cost a lot, or that are free? Any help at all is appreciated.

Exactly what the title says...lol. Secondly, how can I make or form this material into my own mold? I'm looking to make a cone shape. I'm guessig I can use the RTV Silicone mold to make the shape. If I can't come up with a paintball capsule formula to mold with, is there another enviormently safe product that works as the same? Maybe a liquid foam?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
B

What type of metaphor is this? Where can I find more of this type of metaphor?

"My mother is a flawless, modern building, created of fices furnished with beige carpets and gleaming chromium. In every room there are machines -- computers, typewriters, intricate copiers. They are buzzing and clicking way, absorbing and spitting out information with the speed of sound. Downstairs, at ground level, people walk in and out, tracking mud and dirt over the steel-grey tiles, marring the cool perfection of the building. There are no comfortable chairs in the lobby."

The Metaphor
Budge Wilson.

What type of metaphor and where can I find more of that particular type?

letter writer's daughter. Where should the letter be found? On the vicitm's body? The possible blackmailer's body? The possible murderer's body? Among the possesions of one of the above? Other? All this ghastliness takes place at a ski lodge where the above mentioned people and others are staying. The letter contains important information but I'm having trouble bringing it into the story. Suggestions? Weird and far fetched is fine.
